ok, correct me if I'm wrong.

Dissertation Defense - Emotion, Intuition and Decision Making: George Loewenstein in(? might be on) World of Warcraft
[author and date stuff]
Place: Psychology Graduate Auditorium - Center for Philosophy and Human Sciences [then I'm not sure, but I think it's a room number or other indicator]

you forgot "deliberation".
last bit: "8th floor"

It's ambiguous to me whether she means "in WoW", "on WoW" or something else. What she told me is that George Loewenstein is the author of WoW work about which she writes.

I guess I was trying to reword the translation so it would make more sense. I intentionally omitted Deliberation but now that I see it a second time I'm a bit confused. Is:
Emoção, Intuição e Deliberação na Tomada de Decisão

Emotion, Intuition and Deliberation in Decision Making

it's the bold words I'm confused about, specifically the translation of na

na = in the (fem.)

I'm such an idiot--I couldn't figure out what "sexta-feira" meant and had to look it up. (I don't know any Portuguese, only French and Spanish.)
